MISSOURI RIVER IMPROVEMENT.
Captain James B Quinn, u, s. Ea.
gineer, In his annual report, recon-
mends the appropriation OF 100000
for expenditurA the next fiscal year
upon the Missouri river from Sioux
City to Fl. Benton. He says that as
far as benefi ing navigation Is con-
cerned, he sees n use in speeding any
great amount on improving the upper
Missouri river. Bat the existence OF
a practicable chanoel will, he thinks,
secure lower freight RATES Dy rail, and
uGon this theory he makes his recon-
msndation. Captain Q linn says there
Is no commerce on tbs Yellowstone TO
be beDef cd by ths expenditure Of
the present appropriation, but that
the river Is a good one and susceptible
OF improvement. He ecommends
that the present appropriation be do
voted to the repsir of the present
plant. The Improvement OF the
river, he thinke, will ,end TO the cheap
eniDg oil freight rates, and submits q
suggestion that II Congress thinks the
work desirable $500 900 be sppropria-
ted for the next Fl zeal year.
